    I just installed this other day it's so great, I'm never going back to the default screensaver, if you have it on a black background and white text the visibility is SO high, you can see the time even on a bright and sunny day!! 10 out of 10!

    Isn't the point of a screen saver in the first place that it saves the screen, i.e. "constantly" moves around?

    The other awesome part about LargeTime is that it will display a very large message icon when you have a new text message or a missed call indicator when a call was missed. I've been rockin' this software for about a year or so and it's consistently the first thing that gets installed on my new phones.

    Hey, where's the link or the name for the utility that gives a portrait screensaver option for the N95 8gb ?
  • ive installed it but seems like my n82 does not have the screensaver option in themes. Only power saver. It only allows me to choose time and date, animation or date. So how now?

    Ricky, thanks for a really cool app. It's awesome, and the price is right too!

    @Viipottaja: it does move around, at least on my E51!
  • None of your business
    @Viipottaja: 10 years or so back it would have been neccessary that a screen saver moves around to not burn the picture into the surface (sry for my english) But now, it is just to save power and there it doesnt matter if it is big or small or moving or not.

    What i recognized was that, after installing and going to themes options there is large time and weather. when chosing weather it also shows a big clock. Does that mean that the developer of the app is working on a weather screensaver? that would be quite cool in my opinion.

    @smashpop: you need to restart the phone then you will see 'LargeTime' under the power saver menu.

    How much this drains the battery compared to original screensaver?
  • Imran
    @Wurm, not anymore than usual from my observations.

    Just backing up alcatraz. I've got a N95-3 and the screen saver moves for me too, so don't worry about that.

    @The Guru
    Nice find. This is definitely one of the first things I'll be installing on future phones.

    @everyone
    I didn't have to sign anything in order to install this, btw.

    Why not mention cClock as well? It is way better than Largetime..it has analogue clock too plus loads of customisable options like displaying the current day, battery and signal indicators, bluetooth indicators etc.
    Screensavers ARE needed in small screens at 240x320 with high pixel density, for eg. If i leave a black and white picture on my 5700's screen for long, it leaves a burn mark on my 5700! Anyone else facing the same problem? And btw, the burn marks are apparently permanent.
